HUNTINGTON BEACH, Greg Groh: Golfer Phil Mickelson went public about possibly leaving California due to Proposition 30 and other tax increases [“How is an American golfer like a French movie star?” News, Jan. 23]. Others quietly list their properties for sale and leave – under the radar.

Golfer Tiger Woods, who backed Mickelson's comments, beat the rush, leaving in 1996. As multimillionaire athletes flee the state, will those in the entertainment industry be far behind?

I know I can't make up for the tens of millions in tax dollars these people will no longer be paying, but I expect the folks in Sacramento will ask me to try. I am starting to wonder if I can afford to stay here much longer.
